What Church do you attend?

[sweetdaisy]

Wow, I can't believe 1Adam12 hasn't been banned for his rude, hateful comments. He never even answered the question of the original poster.

And his comments & attitude are probably just as rude and hateful when he's in uniform. What a terrible example of our men & women in blue.

Now, you don't know how he is in uniform, do you? Being a little judgemental aren't you?

Let me ask everyone this question. Have any of you had a bad attitude on this forum, or said anything on this forum that was rude, distasteful, sarcastic, or mean? I know that I have, and I have regretted it. I know that I can find posts on many members that have exercised these characteristics a time or two.

I bet he's a Republican.

The Terms and Conditions aren't working at the moment, but I believe they state that rudeness will not be tolerated.

Keith--

Yes, we all have our moments. But not allof us who slip up occasionally keep berating people to the point that they don't want to come back to a thread or the entire forum.

I have been a person who has been sarcastic at times, but I try to keep it lighthearted. I don't intentionally attack people and try to make them feel bad for what they are. Some might, but not me, and I'm tired of being a target for some people who feel they are morally justified in giving me crap.

Why so protective, Keith? I'm stating the fact that his behavior online tends to be poor and confrontational, which is probably the way he behaves when he's wearing his uniform. I reasoned through this, and would be happy to explain it: if he was trying to hide his rude, hateful, and intolerant behavior, he would not use a screen name and avatar that reflects he is a cop. Therefore, I would guess he thinks his rude, hateful, and intolerant behavior is acceptable at all times...including when he's in uniform.

Not judgemental...it's called connecting the dots.

I'm not being protective of anyone, I am just being protective of others' rights to post their opinions. Yes, he is sometimes rude and straight to the point, but so are several other posters on the forum. I have checked his posts and the times that he is on the forum. He is hardly on the forum, and he doesn't post that much. BTW, he has been warned about his rudeness and the ways he expresses his opinions.......but so have others.

Without saying names here, he is no worse than a few of our regulars who are on everyday, that like to make fun of other posters, and their opinions (and try to force everyone to provide facts all the time). Do we ban them for being rude also?

If we start banning people on here for being rude and sarcastic, then we would be banning lots of people.

Ok, folks, we are totally off topic here, so let's get back on topic. If there are any more comments regarding this, please PM me or e-mail me at keith@okctalk.com.

[sweetdaisy]

I don't recall saying a thing about banning anyone. I'm simply defending my comment about his rude and intolerant behavior when you started claiming "judgemental".

I attend North Side Church of Hypocrites.

Isn't that where 1Adam12 attends? I saw him there this morning when I was visiting to see what HIS religion was like.

I'd like to join in the mudslinging here, but Joel Osteen comes on at 7pm, channel 14. Maybe there will be a sermon on tolerance and having a good attitude.

Hope springs eternal.

You watch TBN!? What's youre take on Benny Hinn?

[brianinok]

I know you weren't asking me, but here's my take.

Joel Osteen = Scary
TBN = Scarier
Benny Hinn = Scariest

[Keith]

Im my opinion, Benny Hinn is as fake as they get. Just looking at his fake smile makes my stomach upset. Joel osteen is ok, but I don't check the TV listings to see when he is on.

Oh, I wasn't referring to my church as that. I was just trying to use something comical to try to get folks back on topic.

[Patrick]

Benny Hinn drives a Rolls Royce for a reason. Biggest con man out there.

As for my list:

TBN: Total Bizarre Network

Benny Hinn: Con man

Rod Parsley/TD Jakes: Yelling about absolutely nothing

Jana Crouch: One scarry hair style

Billy Graham: a breath of fresh air among a crowd of weirdos

Joel Osteen is nothing but a motivational speaker. His McSermons are great if you want to make everybody feel good about themselves so they'll come in droves every Sunday and finance your former NBA arena auditorium.

I have a few pics of my church that I want to share. This building was built in 1977, so it is now 30 years old.

[OSUFlounder]

St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in Downtown OKC.... The joke of course would be all of the tradition and none of the guilt (for all of you Catholics). However I truly find that God speaks to people in different ways and through different creeds. Has the image of God in which we were created ever been the same throughout history. Of course not. The Episcopal Church has been and will be my faith home because it is open to listening to people from different backgrounds and life experiences. It is more about sharring and living in communion with one another than it is about divisions. This has just been my experience, I'm sure others would find it differently.

I go to church at various locations ... is that vague enough

[paypay04]

> Billy Graham: a breath of fresh air among a crowd

I've heard Rev. Graham preach many times in my life, beginning in the 60's at Ridgecrest in North Carolina. Whether live and in person, via live televised broadcast or via delayed broadcast, I have never doubted his conviction for God nor his genuine love for mankind.
